Automotive
Rapid prototyping, indirect tooling and production-ready workflows – powered by large-format SLA and flexible materials.
Accelerated time-to-market
Raplas SLA supports rapid prototyping, indirect tooling, and end-use parts where photopolymer performance is suitable. By designing and producing functional prototypes in-house, automotive teams can test and validate faster – reducing iteration cycles and supporting quicker transitions into production.
Raplas PR systems offer large build platforms ranging from 450 × 450mm to 800 × 700mm, helping you scale output and consolidate builds for higher throughput.
Designed for optimal throughput
Raplas systems are built to support consistent output across large build areas, enabling reliable production runs alongside fast prototyping.
Superior part quality
Produce fine features and smooth surfaces suitable for presentation parts, validation models, and tooling patterns.
Reduced time-to-market
Bring prototyping and short-run production in-house to shorten iteration cycles and keep programmes moving.
Material versatility
Change materials to match performance needs across different prototypes, patterns, and production workflows.
User-friendly integration
Designed to fit into established workshop and production environments, supporting repeatable workflows and consistent output.
Cost-effective production
Consolidate parts on large build platforms and reduce outsourced lead times for prototypes and short runs.
Large-format build area
Build bigger parts or batch more components per run with platforms up to 800 × 700mm.
Interchangeable resin vat
Automotive manufacturers worldwide use Raplas’ interchangeable resin vat for fast material changeovers. Swap materials efficiently to support different prototypes and workflows on a single machine – helping teams maintain momentum through design, validation, and production support.
- Seamless material changeovers
- Support multiple workflows on one system
- Reduce downtime between programmes
Automotive applications
From design studios to production support, Raplas SLA can support rapid prototyping, indirect tooling patterns, and photopolymer end-use parts where appropriate.
- Concept and validation prototypes
- Jigs, fixtures and tooling patterns
- Short-run parts and production support components
- Large-format builds for batching and consolidation
